Most common problems:

Oil consumption

LS3 engines are known to consume more oil than usual, which can be problematic if not monitored regularly.

Valve lifter failure

The LS3's valve lifters can sometimes fail, leading to a ticking noise and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Active fuel management (afm) issues

Though less common in high-performance variants, AFM can cause problems with lifters and cylinders if equipped.

Timing chain wear

Premature wear of the timing chain can occur, leading to potential engine timing issues.

Cylinder head valve issues

Valve and valve guide wear in the aluminum cylinder heads can occur, leading to reduced performance and potential engine damage.

Coolant leaks

The LS3 engine can experience coolant leaks, especially around the water pump and radiator hoses.

Fuel injector problems

Injectors can sometimes fail or clog, leading to misfires and rough engine performance.

Exhaust manifold cracking

The exhaust manifolds can crack over time, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced performance.

Throttle body and sensor issues

Problems with the throttle body and associated sensors can lead to erratic idling and throttle response.
